AUSTIN, Texas – Dana White has a special place for Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
The UFC president has assured Jedrzejczyk (16-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) will have a spot in the UFC Hall of Fame in the near future. This comes just weeks after Jedrzejczyk decided to hang up the gloves following a knockout loss in a rematch to Zhang Weili at UFC 275 in Singapore.
“Oh, without a doubt,” White told MMA Junkie at the UFC on ESPN 37 post-fight press conference. “(She was) one of the women who helped build women’s MMA, especially in the UFC – always fun to watch, always came to fight.
“Her walk in that night when she got to the arena, (was) gangster as usual. I love everything about Joanna, and I’m glad that she fought and ended her career here with us.”
Jedrzejczyk walked away from MMA after fighting for 10 years professionally. She remains the most dominant strawweight champion in UFC history with the record for most consecutive title defenses in the division with five.
The Polish fighter, who held the title from 2015 to 2017, has notable wins over Jessica Andrade, Michelle Waterson, Tecia Torres, Claudia Gadelha and current champion Carla Esparza, among others.
